Every spring the Common Toads (Bufo bufo) emerge from hibernation. Then they migrate to the waters in which they once hatched as a tiny tadpole. Many toads gather together for a short period of time. Since they are only interested in breeding, they don't really pay attention to anything else. This is the perfect opportunity to observe their behavior and take some decent pictures.

About Me

For as long as I can remember, I was very interested in nature and I loved to spent time in the field, searching for animals. I developed a special predilection for amphibians and reptiles. Later, when I got very interested in photography, it was obvious to combine these two aspects. So Nature photography became a big passion to me.
